Jack Antonoff mentions Billie Joe Armstrong in Rolling Stone interview

Jack Antonoff (Fun. and his recent project Bleachers - which is an incredible sideproject) mentioned Billie Joe Armstrong in a Q&A with Rolling Stone. It's brief, but still kind of neat. I always get excited when someone else mentions Billie.

Q: Your project is called Bleachers, which could mean many things. Did you have a bleached-hair phase?

A: Oh, yeah, big-time. Billie Joe Armstrong had bleached hair during the era when Dookie was out, and I so desperately wanted to be him. To compromise, my mom let me get highlights, which looked fucking ridiculous. Then one day when she wasn't around, I got the hairdresser to bleach my whole head. My mom came back and said, "I can't believe you went platinum before school!"

*googles who is that guy*

Oh, It's that guy who plays guitar in "We are young", in which I don't hear a single chord.

Oh, how much kids bleached their hair on Dookie era...he's just one famous example.

He's in Fun. One of the shittest bands on the planet.

Still better than Biffy Clyro :P

Anyway I love how many bands and artists were influenced by Dookie.

I didn't realize he was in Fun! and now in Bleachers. And that's all I have to say on this subject.

I think Some Nights (the song) is really catchy, and maybe even Walking the Dog. Otherwise, crappy band with an agenda.

I saw Fun when they were still The Format. They were terrible even then.

The Format was way worse than Fun as far as I'm concerned.

I agree that Fun. is horrendous, but I actually really like the Bleachers record he just put out.

I wonder if people ever call this guy "Jack 'noff"

I think this applies here.

That's amusing. Brings to mind Green Day's Shout interlude at Shepherds Bush (from around 1:50)
